My child is sick and I need time to look after him/her, but my employer is refusing. Do I have any rights?
You have the right to take reasonable time off to deal with an emergency involving your child if he or she is ill and you need time to make arrangements for their care. This time is unpaid unless otherwise specified in your contract or staff handbook.
If your employer is refusing you time off for this purpose, you should seek advice from your trade union rep or (if there is no recognised union in your workplace) your local Citizens Advice or Law Centre. You may be able to refer the matter to an employment tribunal, but there are strict time limits for making such claims.
The first step before bringing any tribunal claim, is to complete an Acas Early Conciliation Notification Form and submit it to Acas. This is the first step in a process called 'Acas Early Conciliation'. This first step is compulsory. If you do not take it, you will not be able to bring your claim in the employment tribunal.
For more information about Acas early conciliation, see the free leaflet available from the Acas website,
Acas early conciliation is free and its aim is to try to resolve the dispute without the need for a claim in the employment tribunal. You must submit the form to Acas if you want to bring a tribunal claim and there is a fixed deadline for taking this step. However, once you have submitted the completed form you are not obliged to enter into negotiations with your employer.
For more information, see our Enforcing Your Rights section.

Marion Philpotts-Miller
Marion Philpotts-Miller, principal and managing partner of Philpotts Interiors, was born and raised in Hawai'i by her interior designer mother, who helped her appreciate the aesthetic of refined South Pacific living. Philpotts-Miller's approach to design is inspired by the contemporary urban style she picked up during her years in San Francisco, where she began adopting the thoughtful, purposeful and amusing style she is known for today.
What is your design philosophy?
Be true to yourself and true to the client. Don't impose your values on others. Instead, acknowledge who they are and interpret their personal and professional aspirations. Also, listen to the voices of design legacy and the importance they play in design through art, craftsmanship and culture. With this you can balance pragmatism and beauty, simplicity and restraint, and liability and awareness.
What is your advice to future architects, builders or designers?
Do your part to contribute to the smart and sustainable planning and development of Honolulu. Whether it is increasing landscaping or preserving what's left of our mauka-makai view planes, let's embrace and augment our natural resources so we can reinvent ourselves and create a contemporary, timeless environment.
Which of your projects are you most proud of and why?
Hotel Wailea is a recent one that comes to mind. It is a story of organic reinvention and about turning big ideas into bigger moves. We worked with the Hotel Wailea team to turn a tired property that used to be a private Japanese club into a romantic getaway worthy of becoming Relais & Chateaux's first Hawai'i location. It's become internationally recognized for its fresh and vibrant atmosphere and is a true destination for couples from around the world. There's your Valentine's Day idea for your significant other.
Where do you find inspiration for your design projects?
Travel and the subsequent exposure to the human, natural and built elements of other cultures provide a great deal of inspiration. These experiences are the foundation for authentic design—design that's grounded in place.
Are there design and build challenges specific to Hawai'i?
Unfortunately, there are many. Up front, there can be a lack of access to certain products, along with a lack of the understanding that comes with exposure to the processes that create them. On the back end, the cost of transporting these products to Hawai'i can be very high. But I think this ultimately spurs a level of resourcefulness and innovation with our local designers that doesn't necessarily exist elsewhere.
What is some advice that got you to where you are today?
I have been the recipient of a lot of great advice, but my first work experiences out of school were incredibly formative. Just out of design school in the 80's, I worked for the fashion company Esprit Corp in the architecture department. It was also a place where work and play went hand in hand. The company culture was unique, from in-house yoga to tennis lessons in the Esprit Park—you really wanted to be there. The resulting output was fresh, innovative and profitable.
Here at Philpotts, we aspire to be on the same plane as Espirit, from offering yoga classes to a wide range of professional development opportunities. Make the most of what you do. You only get one journey, so make it count.
In San Francisco, Chip Conley was an inspiration and fantastic mentor. His approach to hotels for Joie de Vivre taught me so much about the nuances of hospitality design. In Hawai'i, Jon McManus of Hotel Wailea has served as an inspired visionary, always encouraging out-of-the-box thinking. And I've learned so much from all of my business partners along the way—most notably Jonathan Staub and my mother, Mary Philpotts. Jonathan has this incredible ability to bring big ideas to fruition without fear and sell it. He has taught me so much about seeing design from the client's perspective. As the founder of Philpotts Interiors, Mary's entrepreneurial spirit gave me the courage to go for it on my own in San Francisco. Today her energy and role modeling are my greatest gifts. I honor her here in Hawai'i.

Published: November 2008
Publisher: Grove Creek Publishing
Genre: YA
The Story: One girl. Two guys. Who says three's a crowd? When Mandy takes an unusual summer job-in construction-she has to prove she's just one of the guys. But she gets more than she bargains for being the only girl on the job. The mixture of hot guys, sunscreen, raw wood and testosterone proves to be an elixir she can't protect her heart from. Brooding Boston and flirty AJ find themselves looking at Mandy as more than just a girl who holds a hammer. Mandy soon finds herself not only lost in a whirlwind of a male-dominated world, but also the center of an inadvertently "constructed" love triangle. Mandy must choose between two guys who want her heart. But what's a girl to do when she wants them both?
My Review: This book may be "old" but it was new to me! I had won the book, and read it. So, YMCA anyone? This book is so cute. When Mandy descides to show up in shorts and a tank, she finds out that she can't have it her way. The two guys that she gets caught in the triangle with, both treat her as the boss' daughter (which she is) and as any other guy on the job. Mandy does push herself, and proves that she belongs there just as much as they do. Oh, and which guy does she pick? Go grab the book and find out!

Rose has been Gary Molz' partner in life since 1999 and in business since 2003, and aspires to always be a true partner in both realms. She and Gary both love business, love to work, and love talking about their business – how to do things better and make customers happier. After her first date with Gary, Rose says she was interested in a second date because, "He was the first guy who didn't say I worked too much."
After graduating from the UW-Madison, Rose put her plans for law school on hold – too many loans and no money – and went to work for Rayovac in 1987, beginning in customer service and eventually leading a new sales division selling batteries and flashlights to office supply resellers. A customer, the largest national wholesaler, hired her in 1993 as regional director of customer services, a job she says was very cool – like being the center of a wheel. She was liaison to all of the company's service departments, first in the Southwest where she was based out of Dallas, then on the East Coast based in Philadelphia.
The best part, says Rose, was her boss, Stan, a terrific mentor. "He taught me so much about people and life, not just about the job," she says. "He's retired now and rarely does a day go by that I'm not reminded of something he taught or told me. I miss him terribly. My tribute to him is to one day be for someone else the same kind of mentor that he was to me."
Rose's favorite quote comes from her mentor: "You can have your say, but you can't always have your way." At first it made her angry to hear it, but, she says, "The more you grow, the more you realize how true it is. It's one of the best lessons in learning good teamwork."
Rose officially joined BF Molz in 2004 as a sales manager responsible for both Wisconsin and the East Coast. As the market developed, she and Gary started looking for new opportunities and decided to move to Madison. Within a couple of years, she'd like to see EZOP become the trusted office products supplier for small- to mid-sized businesses.
|"during the thirteen years I was away I always missed my family, but I didn't realize how much I missed Madison – the people, beauty, the atmosphere and the safe community."
And besides, says Rose, "during the thirteen years I was away I always missed my family, but I didn't realize how much I missed Madison – the people, beauty, the atmosphere and the safe community." She's passionate about giving back to the community. "I'd like to help young people grow into adulthood and develop into good businesspeople and managers, to pass on some of the good training I was blessed to receive," she says.
"The environment is also one of the most important things to our future, and like many others in Madison, I'd like to find practical ways to preserve and improve it. Another priority for me is finding a cure for cancer, especially breast cancer, since it runs in my family and I have eleven nieces.
"If I can make a small contribution in these three areas, I'll feel I've accomplished something," says Rose.

Apology (Plato)
From Conservapedia
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by JDWpianist (Talk | contribs) at 15:22, 24 February 2011. It may differ significantly from current revision.
The Apology (Greek Άπολογία Σωκράτους) is an early dialogue by Plato, which recounts Socrates' defense speech in front of the Athenian assembly. Having been put on trial for impiety and corrupting the young, Socrates refuses to take the charges seriously, instead attempting to convince the court that his style of questioning/teaching is a divine duty. This tactic fails, and Socrates is sentenced to death.

Well Born Baby childbirth preparation classes are designed to offer couples a well-rounded, straightforward curriculum. As doulas and childbirth educators, we have assisted hundreds of couples through a very wide range of birth choices and experiences.
Though certified, we don't teach any one method of childbirth preparation; rather we pull the best parts from the most popular methods, as well as from our extensive experience in the field.
There is no one right way to labor. We stand by the philosophy that birth is a normal process and strive to inspire confidence in the couples that we teach. It is our goal to demonstrate the full spectrum of options a woman has when preparing for her birth, and then to support her unconditionally.
The most important way to approach your birth is with confidence and relaxation. You achieve this by knowing what possible things to expect, developing the skills to move through your labor, and by feeling prepared to work through whatever your journey turns out to be.
Well Born Baby Classes offer a blend of lecture, demonstration, and practice and will include, but not be limited to:
Your body knows how to give birth and your baby knows how to be born. Childbirth preparation gives you the knowledge and tools to make your birthing decisions so that you can have your best birth experience.

It's hard to say exactly what's going on without a repro, but: o the maps are private to each connection o the code you pointed at is obviously broken, and will fail if a map with more than one entry is cleared o access to the map is synchronized on the connection object Currently I can only think of the situation where the entries haven't been cleared the "normal" way for whatever reason, and then the clearing fails due to the broken code. I'll wait for more input from the community, and then commit a patch along the lines of the current suggestion/patch if nothing substantial comes up. Finally, how often do you see this bug? Are you running with isolation level read-uncommitted? (may not be relevant, but there are some issues with LOBs and locking at that level) Are you in a situation where you could test a build off the head of the 10.8 branch? That is, 10.8.2.2 + all fixes that have been backported since the release. Building the jars with 10.8.2.2 + this fix only is also possible of course. None of these have been tested thoroughly by the community. > EmbedConnection.clearLOBMapping() incorrectly clears lobFiles causing a ConcurrentModificationException > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-5603 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5603 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Bug > Components: JDBC > Affects Versions: 10.5.1.1, 10.8.2.2 > Environment: Win 7 64 bit > JDK 1.6.0_24 > Reporter: Jon Steinich > Assignee: Kristian Waagan > Priority: Critical > Attachments: derby-5603-1a-avoid_concurrentmodification.diff > > Original Estimate: 1h > Remaining Estimate: 1h > > In EmbedConnection.clearLOBMapping() the code which iterates over lobFiles has a finally block which clears the Set.

In Memory of Matthew Iaria
1991–2016, my love, my baby boy, "the kid," "hot dime ass piece"
Editor's Note: This is the speech I gave at my boyfriend's wake. He passed away on December 9th, 2016 from complications of Stage Four esophageal cancer, just eight months after he was diagnosed, at New York Presbyterian Hospital.
If you don't know me, I'm Stephanie, Matthew's girlfriend. My full name is Stephanie Patricia Ann Osmanski. Growing up, I was the only kid I knew with two middle names and then I fell in love with Matthew Vincent Pearson Iaria, who like me, had two sandwiched between his first and last. We were soul mates in every way two people can be soul mates, except with music because I don't really understand his music and he hates Bon Iver and John Mayer and those are like the only things I care about.
Except The Beatles. We agreed on The Beatles and The 1975.
Baby, you changed everything. You taught me how to fish, how to eat a pomegranate, and that sometimes you have to go above the speed limit. (And by sometimes, I mean always. Sorry, Mom.)
I'll never brush my teeth without dipping the brush in baking soda first, even though the first time I watched you do it I was mildly repulsed. I've also never seen somebody drink so much milk in my life. Seriously, I'm convinced the Iarias inject 1% into their bloodstreams through an IV.
I'll never forgive you for coercing me into being a Knicks fan because being a part of this fandom is the most frustrating experience. Except for Porzingis. Thank God for Porzingis. (Oh, and the Knicks are playing the Warriors tonight and you know I'm only rooting for the Knicks if they're not playing Curry. So I hope Golden State destroys them. Sorry.)
The last thing you said to me before you went into that surgery was, "I love you, baby, with everything I got."
I'm so grateful that I got to say everything I ever wanted to say to you before you passed away. In fact, that's probably why writing this was so hard: because you already know everything. We left nothing unsaid, kid.
You know that I love you so freaking much; that I will love you forever.
You know that I promise to take care of Mom, Dad, Nicky, and Cameron.
And you know that I asked you to wait for me. And you will. You told me you will.
When we were in the hospital, Matthew slept a lot and each time the doctors or nurses came in, they'd ask, "Are you up?" Matthew and I would pop our eyes open — because I slept as much as he did — and we'd say "All the way up!"
Well, I guess you're all the way up now, kid. Wait for me until I get all the way up there, too.
I love you, baby boy. I've been all in since day one.

Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday in the United States of America commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain (now officially known as the United Kingdom). Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games, family reunions, and political speeches and ceremonies, in addition to various other public and private events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the United States.

Happy July Fourth!
Today the US celebrates ditching the limeys (I am a limey, so I can say that) in a huge, brave, crazy risk. Enjoy a safe and happy July 4th.

PITTSBURGH, PA (PRWEB) November 21, 2016
"I saw a need for a better serving tray during my time busing tables," said an inventor from Las Vegas, Nev. "I wanted a tray that would allow for hands-free transport, which led me to this specific design."
He developed the TRAY WITH A HOLE AND A HOOK to allow for hands-free carrying. The design reduces stress and strain on the wrist. It also eliminates the need to tuck an empty tray underneath the arm. The use of this redesigned server tray helps improve posture and makes it easier to multitask too. Additionally, the tray features a lightweight, easily portable design.
The original design was submitted to the Las Vegas office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers. For more information, write Dept. 15-VET-421, InventHelp, 217 Ninth Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, or call (412) 288-1300 ext. 1368.

One of the best fitness equipment I have ever invested into was my Roman chair (also known as hyperextension bench). I used to suffer from lower back pain since I sit too much and because I neglected to strengthen the lower parts of my back. The pain was so bad that sometimes I had to postpone my workouts, and it affected my lifestyle.
Then, I decided to go after what the solution is and after reading researches and asked experts I decided to buy one. After using it for a month (3 times a week, 3-4 sets of Roman chair hyperextension exercises with 10-20 reps), the pain in my lower back left off. On top of that because of the stronger lower back muscles I became better performing weight lifting exercises such as deadlifts and squats.
It is a fact that having strong lower back is critical considering that it takes part in many movements, and it is crucial for proper posture. Therefore investing in equipment for lower back training at home is surely good decision.
It is for you if you:
- sit a lot every day
- lift heavy weights because of your job or working out
- want to shape your abs, waist, butt and hamstrings
- want to strengthen your core (abs, back, spine) to keep your posture and balance healthy
- want to prevent lower back pain
- would like to improve your effectiveness in any sports
- want to get rid of pain because of weak back muscles.

Violent attacks and related mass casualty events continue to occur, with recent headline incidents such as the Las Vegas Route 91 Harvest Festival shooting, Republican congressional baseball team practice, terror attacks in London and Paris, and the unfortunate reoccurrence of school shootings in the United States. These events underscore the need for first responders to provide immediate lifesaving measures to those injured, especially to stop hemorrhage, and save lives.1 Although fire departments are exploring ways to enter the warm zone and provide medical care, law enforcement must be the provider of the initial trauma medical care in the field until emergency medical service personnel arrive or the environment is deemed safe for other emergency personnel to enter.
Background to the Research Study
HonorHealth is a Magnet-recognized five-hospital network and medical provider in the greater Scottsdale-Phoenix, Arizona, metropolitan area that encompasses two level one trauma centers. HonorHealth operates a unique Military Partnership Program and Simulation Training Center that provides realistic medical training to members of all branches of the U.S. military, as well as first responders, with a specific focus on battlefield and trauma medicine. Since December 2015, the HonorHealth Military Partnership Simulation Training Center has focused on training law enforcement first responders in hemorrhage control through the proper application of a tourniquet and related field trauma medical response, similar to combat medicine for the military.
As part of this training mission, the HonorHealth Military Partnership Program and Simulation Training Center conducted a quantitative research study to obtain empirical data regarding the physiological effects and responses (blood pressure and heart rate) of sworn police officers who participated in training scenarios that involved responding to an active shooter incident or officer-involved shooting and administering emergency medical care through the field application of a tourniquet to a severely injured officer (high-fidelity human simulator) who has a gunshot wound.
As an initial component of the research, voluntary participants completed a questionnaire survey that included questions about their age, tenure, fitness level, military service, wartime setting deployment, prior medical experience, and prior tourniquet training and related confidence level. Resting blood pressure and heart rate were also recorded during this classroom portion of the training.
The simulation scenario portion involved response to an active shooter scene staged in a convenience store or drug store with simunitions, live actors, and a downed officer (high-fidelity human simulator hemorrhaging from a gunshot wound to the leg). At the end of the live scenario, which lasted about four minutes, participants immediately had their blood pressure and heart rate taken for comparison to their resting rates. In addition, about 25 percent of the participants were fitted with a live heart monitor to wear during the duration of the scenario. Data analysis and results of the physiological effects on the officers in regard to heart rate and blood pressure were released in various publications, including the November 2016 Police Chief and Force Science News #312, as well as in presentations given at the 2016 Arizona Emergency Medical Systems Odyssey Conference and the 2016 Southwest Trauma and Acute Care Symposium.2
Research Study Data Analysis on Time to Tourniquet Application
Detailed analysis was focused on the time to tourniquet placement as captured in seconds. Time to tourniquet application was measured by a start time beginning at a white line painted on the ground that was approximately six feet from the downed officer and the end time was captured with the successful application of the tourniquet as recorded by the sensors within the high-fidelity human simulator. The participants' tenures, ages, and fitness levels were compared with the participants' time to tourniquet.
Research Results
Descriptive Results of Time to Tourniquet Sample and Empirical Data
The 236 total participants (all sworn Scottsdale Police Officers) encompassed the following demographics:
- 89 percent male
- 11 percent female
- 62 percent 21–40 years old
- 38 percent 41–60 years old
- 70 percent with15 years or less experience
- 28 percent with military experience
- 14 percent with experience being deployed in a war-type setting
Time to Tourniquet Results
Overall Results
Among the total participant population, the mean time for tourniquet application was 42 seconds. When diving deeper into the results, factors related to fitness level, age, and tenure were looked at in relation to the time to tourniquet application. These results gave the average time to tourniquet across three distinct age groups of 21–30, 31–40, and 41 or older, and five tenure groups of 1–5, 6–10, 11–15, 16–20, and 21 or more years of experience.
Factored by Age
The average time to tourniquet in relation to fitness levels and age relayed statistical significance. When examining the empirical data, the time to tourniquet for officers between 21 and 40 years of age with no regular exercise averaged approximately 42 seconds, compared to approximately 34 seconds for officers in the same age group who participated in fitness activities four or more times per week. The ratio of the reduction in time to tourniquet application for officers with higher fitness levels was closely correlated for the other two age groups of officers (31–40 and 41+), as shown in Figure 1.
Factored by Tenure
The average time to tourniquet in relation to fitness levels and tenure also relayed statistical significance. When examining the empirical data, the time to tourniquet for officers with between one and five years of tenure with no regular exercise averaged approximately 43 seconds, compared with a time of approximately 36 seconds for officers of similar tenure who participated in fitness activities four or more times per week. This ratio of the reduction in time to tourniquet application for officers with higher fitness levels was closely correlated for the other four groups of officers sorted by tenure (6–10, 11–15, 16–20, and 20+) as shown in Figure 2.
Conclusion and Items for Consideration
It is clear from the research data that the addition of trauma medicine to an officer's responsibilities in the field during high-stress situations causes physiological stressors when examining heart rate in relation to tourniquet application.3 The empirical data from this research continues to be examined; however, this latest area of examination demonstrates to a degree of statistical significance that physical exercise four or more times per week when compared with no regular exercise increases police officer performance by reducing the time to tourniquet. When examining total population data, the overall mean time of 42 seconds already allows for the possibility of significant blood loss by the wounded individual. Therefore, it is crucial for agencies to understand what the time difference of 8–10 seconds could be to saving lives. In addition, when examining Figures 1 and 2, it is interesting to note that older or longer tenured officers with high levels of fitness had times close to those of younger officers who do not exercise. Law enforcement leaders must recognize the importance of fitness in relation to successful implementation of medical trauma medicine and the timely application of a tourniquet in the field to save lives.

Not until the closing weeks of 1969 did television offer a program series that really answered the long-standing criticism of the medium— namely that it takes of a viewer's time without giving anything in return—and held out hope for a more substantive future. Significantly, the program has come from outside the commercial tv realm, and its brief rating history already suggests that it may be just the show to put public television on he rating map, and UHF in the bargain.
The show, of course, is "Sesame Street"—a daytime strip for underprivileged pre-schoolers which seems to owe a certain debt to "Laugh-In" and to the sell techniques of Madison Avenue's commercials. One of the few shows in memory that has lived up to its advance ballyhoo, it Is the apotheosis -of education through show business, and anyone who thinks it is only for the smallfry ought to give it an hour. The show moves, seduces, diverts, dazzles, amuses and infects, and in the captivating course of things it teaches the very young basic human values, the meaning of numbers, the alphabet and solutions to simple problems. It is a sweet show, and a forceful one, and if racial peace and harmony should visit this country 15 or 20 years from now when the tots grow up, "Sesame Street," as the most naturally integrated show in television, may be one of the reasons why.
It could be wishful thinking, but "Sesame" may well be the opening volley in an entirely new kind of television that exploits the medium's faults and turns them into virtues. Repetition, slapstick, running gags, fast cuts, short takes, monsters, catchy ditties and even commercial interruptions (letters of the alphabet are the "sponsors") are the stuff of the program. And if in five or six weeks a certain suburban two-year-old learned how to count, recite the alphabet and sing fetching little songs, it boggles the mind to think what effect a single fascinating series of television (that surrogate parent) must be having on the culturally undernourished kids of the ghetto.
Luring Numbers
For years, expensive commercial programming has shied away from thoughtful and – God-forbid-educational kidvid in the belief that it was rating leprosy. Yet here is a program carried primarily on educational channels, which traditionally pull no measurable rating all hours of the day and all year long, that rapped out a national rating of 3.3 the second week it was on the air (Nov. 17-23). The number translates to 1,930,000 households cumulatively for the week, or (per the average rating of 2.5) 1,460,000 households each day. This in a station lineup with a coverage factor of only 67.6% of all U.S. tv homes, and many of them on the UHF band. Notable is the Los Angeles market, second largest in the country, which receives "Sesame" only on UHF via the public tv channel.
According to Paul Klein, NBC's veepee of audiences measurement who volunteered his rating expertise to the Children's Television Workshop (which created and produces the series for National Educational Television), the audience size is "formidable" and seems to indicate that some homes which never tuned in UHF before have done so to receive "Sesame Street." Winning over the kids to create a UHF habit is a principle well-known to the sharper U operators like Kaiser Broadcasting and U.S. Communications.
Inheritance Factor
While as yet there are no rating figures to prove it, it is more than probable that the "Sesame" audience has spilled over to adjacent ET programs, either before or after. The aforementioned two-year-old has become a devotee of " Misterogers Neighborhood," which follows the afternoon airing of "Sesame" on WNDT in New York, and a frequent viewer of the commercial cartoons on Gotham's WPIX which precede the program at 9 a.m. there. WPIX, the commercial indie whose license has been challenged, is carrying "Sesame" sustaining in the early morning hour Children's Television Workshop desired in New York but WNDT has been unable to provide. The station has mounted a lineup of sponsorable kidshows leading into "Sesame."
According to Klein, WPIX's carry of the show has broadened "Sesame's" popularity in New York and helped to increase the ratings in the two later periods educational station WNDT airs it. "Sesame" debuted on NET Nov. 10 but began its run on WPIX Dec. 1. Over the first 17 WPIX days, it pulled a 2.4 N.Y. Nielsen and 17 share in its 9-10 a.m. berth. But more significant is that the ratings have climbed in the two WNDT hours since WPIX became an extra outlet for it.
From Nov. 10-28, "Sesame" drew a 1.6 rating and 7 share at 11:30 a.m. on the ETV station, and a 3.9 and 11 share in its 4.30 p.m. repeat. But since WPIX got into the act, making it three VHF airings per day for "Sesame" in N.Y. (plus three more on UHF), the WNDT numbers jumped to 2.1 and an 11 share at 11:30 and to 4.1 and a 12 share at 4:30.
If commercial television may be likened to Broadway and non-commercial tv to off-Broadway, "Sesame" is a clearcut off-Broadway hit.
5-Way Approach
Joan Ganz Cooney, director of the Workshop who conceived the idea for the series and promoted the backing, attributes the successful execution of it to several factors: (1) learning from the mistakes of "PEL" in setting up the mechanism for the Workshop; (2) the multiplicity of backers which guaranteed insulation from them and precluded their interference with the development of the concept: (3) the $8,000,000 underwriting which afforded 18 months of lead time for research and experimentation prior to the premiere, a luxury seldom realized in commercial tv, unfortunately; (4) a happy choice of staff, talent and creative hands and (5) the kindness of certain persons and companies in commercial television (see separate story).
As to the PBL example, Mrs. Cooney learned from a series of interviews with ex-Public Broadcasting Lab personnel that it was vital to keep her organization free from interference by the bankrolling entities and to spell out clearly the roles of everyone concerned— backers, educational advisers and staff—so that there be no clashes or confusion. Thus far, it has proved a good lesson.
The money has come from six sources—the Dept. of Health, Education & Welfare providing 50% of it, the Ford and Carnegie Foundation contributing most of the rest, the Markle Foundation and the Corp. for Public Broadcasting making smaller contributions, and Head Start kicking in $600,000. Since there has been no manifest upset, presumably al are being fulfilled.
Beyond the bulk ratings, questions that remain concern the program's actual penetration in the urban ghettos, one of its express purposes being to abet the Head Start program. Since rating samples of households earning $3,000 a year or under are inadequate (with such a lack of spending power they're useless to Madison Ave.), Miss Cooney's Workshop will soon embark on a series of random sample polls and surveys of the ghetto to ascertain how it is being received there.
Meantime, there are encouraging reports from field representatives who say the program is getting excellent word of mouth in areas where it is most needed. "Sesame" is designed for pre-schoolers, but one field rep who recently visited a fifth-grade class in Bedford- Stuyvesant sent back word that every one of the pupils had watched the show.
'Sesame's' Commercial Friends
Commercial broadcasters have made dollar and equipment contributions to educational tv in the past, but the support that has been given to "Sesame Street" is unprecedented in the relationship between public and private video. That is testament to the commercial medium's appreciation of the worthiness of the project, and also to its faith in the Children's Television Workshop's ability to bring it off.
The CBS-owned tv and radio stations aired hundreds of pre-premiere promotional spots in their various markets, and, at 11:30 a.m. on the debut date in New York, flagship WCBS-TV advised its viewers that if there were pre-schoolers in the home it was suggested they switch to Channel 13 (educational WNDT) for the" "Sesame" preem. Both CBS and ABC News carried items about the show in their early evening national newscasts, and NBC aired the primetime preview of "Sesame" sponsored by Xerox Corp. (which CBS couldn't clear time for). The Time-Life stations have been doing regular promotions for the "Sesame Street" teachers guide, and National Periodicals ("Batman" and "Superman") donated page ads in about 800 different comic books and contributed handbills for the kids with Batman and Superman recommending the program.
In addition, two key network executives have volunteered their personal services on a continuing basis to Workshop head Joan Ganz Cooney. The two, oddly, are the principals of the CBS-NBC f e u d – CBS senior program veep Michael H. Dann and NBC v.p. of audience research Paul Klein. Klein, acting on his own, volunteered to extract rating data on "Sesame" from the Nielsen Co. and to analyze and interpret it for Mrs. Cooney. She says that he has gone beyond being a numbers adviser to serving as a kind of mentor- inspirit who has made a point of attending the Workshop's curriculum seminars. Klein, it's known, has privately involved himself with various new developments in elementary and preschool education.
As for Dann, Mrs. Cooney discloses that he phoned her immediately on reading the first news report on the formation of the Workshop in 1968 to caution that $8,000,000 would go down the drain if the project took an arty course, as public tv shows are wont to do, instead of a practical one. Although they had never met, Dann volunteered his counsel. He told her not to seek out a flashy producer who turned out a single fine film but to realize that an hour program five times a week for 26 weeks was volume television, which called for someone experienced in that kind of output.
"Mike played a critical role in the project," Mrs. Cooney told Variety. "He was right, I was on the wrong road in my thinking. Until he called I was thinking in terms of an arty producer. He put me on target. We needed someone with imagination and taste who most of all was able to handle the practical day-in, dayout grind.
"I asked him for a suggestion, and he said he would do some research and get up a list of possible candidates. On top of the list was Dave Connell, who had done "Captain Kangaroo" for CBS. Mike had the highest praise for him, and he turned out to be the perfect choice. I might add that he (Dann) has been supportive of the project all along."

Press Secretary Sarah Sanders answered the questions on DACA at a press briefing today. She made one point very clear, though.
"IT'S NOT COLD-HEARTED FOR THE PRESIDENT TO UPHOLD THE LAW." (video below)
After Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that the administration wanted an "orderly wind down," Sanders said that Congress should "do their job" while defending the president's compassion.
"It's not cold-hearted for the president to uphold the law. We're a nation of law and order and the day we start to ignore the fact that we are that, then we throw away everything that gives these people a reason to want to come to our country," Sanders said on Tuesday. "If we stop becoming the country that we were envisioned to be, then we throw away what makes us special, which makes America unique. This president is not willing to do that — the previous administration was — this one isn't."
Sanders said that the president "wrestled back and forth" with DACA. She said that it wasn't an easy decision.
Share this if you agree with Trump's decision to make end DACA. It's time that we fix our immigration system.

This is really sweet of the Academy Awards to have acknowledged Om Puri as a Hollywood actor and paying homage to him. The awards that is taking place at Los Angeles, paid tribute to all the talents they lost in the recent times. Along with the Hollywood stars, they also paid homage to Om Puri, who we recently lost to cardiac arrest.
Just yesterday, Hollywood lost yet another huge talent, Bill Paxton. At the Academy Award, a special tribute performance was held to remember the actors who the industry lost in the recent times. To announce the same, Jennifer Aniston was present. As she spoke about Bill Paxton, the actress couldn't help and broke into tears. The emotional actress pulled herself together and completed her speech before the performance started. The news of Bill Paxton's death was heartbreaking and the industry bereaved over the news.
Om Puri's family is overwhelmed with how Oscars decided to pay a tribute to the legendary Bollywood actor. They acknowledged the honour saying, "The only Indian actor to have worked consistently in Hollywood and British cinema for the last 25 years, without a fuss and letting his work speak for itself, today the Academy of Motion Pictures acknowledged his contribution at its 89th Awards. The first and only Indian actor to be acknowledged thus. Thank you Academy. Thank you everyone. We miss you Om. We miss you lots."
As they paid homage to all the celebrities who passed away recently, there was a still that had Om Puri as well. In case you guys didn't know, the late actor was a part of Hollywood film Ghost and the Darkness, which even to this day is lauded as one of the best films. It was an honour to see how the West mentioned Puri as they gave their tribute to the stars. Here's a still from the awards of Om Puri.
The actor was 66 when he passed away as he succumbed to a major cardiac arrest. The incident took place in his residence right after he returned from shooting. All the updates of the 89th Academy Awards is right on our site so make sure you stay tuned. Oh but do tell us what are your thoughts on this gesture by Hollywood as they pay their respect to the late Om Puri. Write in the comments section below.
Om Puri won his first Filmfare Best Supporting Actor Award for the film 'Aakrosh' that released in 1981. Directed by Govind Nihalani, who is currently heading the CBSE, the film was based on a true life story. Om Puri left the audience in tears as he played the quiet Lahanya Bhiku, who suffers through horrific tragedy without uttering a word. But in the end, his character takes a violent and revengeful turn, to seek justice.

A U.S. military officer in Afghanistan. A forced soldier in the Congo.
Daniel Myatt
was an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) officer. During his combat experience in Afghanistan, he found himself confronted with the reality of desperate rural poverty. His service showed him the link between poverty and conflict, and left him searching for a better way to bring about peace in unstable areas.
David Masomo,
on the other hand, grew up in poverty in North Kivu, in the midst of DRC's devastating wars. Abducted by an armed rebel group, David witnessed the destruction of his homeland and the deaths of his friends. His heart yearned for peace, but he knew intuitively that top-down interventions like UN peacekeeping operations would be insufficient. So he pursued a career in development. He worked with several major NGOs and government agencies in the region before winning a scholarship to pursue a Master's degree in South Korea.
Meanwhile, Dan finished his service in Afghanistan and was transferred to South Korea, where he met David. Despite a world of differences between them, Dan and David connected deeply over their shared experiences in war and their desire for peace. Together they began to develop a rich philosophy of grassroots development; one that's based on empowering local leaders to drive their own development. They chose to put these ideas to the test in David's homeland, the DRC, one of the least developed places on earth.
The DRC would be the ultimate test case for their theory.
In September 2014, David graduated from his Master's program and moved back to eastern Congo. He immediately put their conceptual ideas into action, and partnered with the small village of Bunzi. David had no resources, funding, or team, yet he committed himself to expressing their philosophy of change in Bunzi. Meanwhile, Dan scrambled to raise some early capital in Korea to support David's work.
They received 501(c)(3) status in the U.S., and registered as an NGO in the Congo. The organization was named Mavuno, a Swahili word meaning "Harvest." By March 2015, Dan finished his military service and joined Mavuno full-time himself.
That first partner community, the village of Bunzi, served as a beta test for our model, and the results were nothing short of extraordinary.
Mavuno was the result of a friendship, and relationships remain at the heart of what we do. We invest in people, not projects. The real hero of the Mavuno story is the Congolese villager, empowered and equipped to lead their community to a prosperous and peaceful future. Thank you for joining us in affirming their dignity and their capacity to transform the DRC.

im ChrisDL and im new here More one baby for us daycare. (Sorry my Bad English)
Hi Chris! Welcome to ADISC!
I am curious. Is English your first language? If not, what is?
I hope you enjoy it around here. Welcome to our community. Just remember, we are real people that just enjoy diapers and baby things. We are more of a community, not just a daycare. Have fun!
He's from Brazil, guys, chances are Portuguese is his mother tongue. Click his name right above his avatar pic then click "view profile" then click "about me" - and presto! Converstion fodder!
Crisdl, the same would apply to you: it makes talking to a person much easier if you know a bit about them and the way I described above is the easiest way to see what they have already said about themself!
Second easiest would be to read their intro post which will be post #1 in their own intro thread. Sadly, while this can be got to it takes a bit of work and knowing your way around this site; I will ask to see if an easier way can't be rigged up to make it easy to fine a person's intro post, or posts, as sometimes people will post more than once in the greetings thread.

Oh how spring calls to me! My whiskers twitch and my paws long to scamper among the cool blades of damp grass in the sun-filled morning! What a joy to be a mouse!
Yesterday I finished the Mini Bleuette and Her Cracker Barrel Trunk set. This little accomplishment has me giddy with delight. This is solidly one of the very best pieces I've ever made. And, it should be. I've always held that your latest work should always be your best or you aren't growing as an artist. This is not to say that art of the past isn't notable, but we gain so many new skills and confidence with our abilities with each piece we finish. And, so it is with the Mini Bleuette and Her Cracker Barrel Trunk.
From the curved drawer in the vanity, to the quilting on the stool and bedding of the fold up Murphy bed...from the tiny 1 1/2" dresses to the three little wood hanger, its a mini masterpiece. There's a baby blue silk party dress with lace and rose bud embroidery, a rose and pink striped day dress with a rose silk sash, and the mini Bleuette wears a lovely jardin tablier dress over her eyelet onsie under things. Her Jumeau style shoes are brown leather and she wears them over lace socks. Her auburn curls come to her shoulders so you can change her dresses without mussing her hair. I honestly could have continued to make yet a couple of more dresses, but it comes now time to work once again on Bebe Balancoire. She's been awfully patient while I worked on the CB trunk.
I also finished the three mini wooden jigsaw puzzles and chose The Doctor to share with you. Each little puzzle was completed with a cardboard box authentic with paper tape corners, and the lids were finished with a high gloss paint and photo of the puzzle. These puzzles have to be one of my favorite Etrennes since all the puzzle pieces fit together so nicely. I love toys we can actually play with!
With no further ado, I will scurry back to my table and get back to work. Then again, I'm certain you have guessed that I will be enjoying the 77 degree weather we are having throughout the day to take those much needed breaks.
Miss E. Mouse

Warm Bodies
Dead guy stalks cute girl in conventionally quirky zombie romance
"Cute" is not a word that can be applied to a lot of zombie movies, but it's the most apt description available for Warm Bodies, a PG-13 undead romance from indie writer-director Jonathan Levine. Levine has spent the last few years making almost-but-not-quite cult films like All the Boys Love Mandy Lane, The Wackness and 50/50. Warm Bodies follows in that tradition, a likable but imperfect black comedy that will find moderate box office success while infecting a handful of loyal fans.
